Last year’s Go Bowling 400 winner, Kyle Busch has a lot going for him at Kansas Speedway. On top of winning this race in 2016, he has also won the last three Xfinity Series, Kansas Lottery 300 races on this track. For whatever reason, Busch seems to excel racing here in recent years.
Kyle Busch has yet to capture a victory this season, but is coming off a third place finish at Talladega. If you were to ask anyone in his camp, they would certainly say he is due for a victory. Getting a shot at a venue where he’s been hot gives him a very good chance.
What will be truly interesting to watch this weekend though is the growing rivalry between Kyle Busch and Joey Logano. The two have gotten into it this year, including a physical altercation after the Kobalt 400. It will be interesting to see if that comes into play on a track that Busch has had a lot of recent success at.
Westgate odds: 8-1
